BBC Four - The Sky at Night, Reaching for the Stars

Sir Patrick Moore offers advice to those who are discovering astronomy for the first time.

Recorded just before his death, Sir Patrick Moore and his team offer advice to those who are discovering astronomy for the very first time.

For more than half a century Sir Patrick Moore encouraged people to look up at the wonders of the night skies. Fittingly in this programme, recorded just before his death, he and his team offer advice to those who are discovering astronomy for the very first time. How should they set up their new telescopes and what should they seek out in the winter skies as they begin to share Sir Patrick's lifelong passion for the stars?

Knowledge, arts, music and culture from the UK and the world.
